Any suggestions for silver polish?

Your help would be appreciated! :)

Luke 6:38

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?”

Get an aluminum pan, put your silver in the pan and cover with baking soda. Pour boiling water over it and let science work. The chemical reaction of the aluminum and soda get it all nice and polished. We just did this with a vintage necklas my daughter bought. Came out sparkling clean. Cheap and it works!

For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

I just tried the aluminum foil, baking soda and boiling water. It works great! Thanks for the tip.

I have done the toothpaste bit! We used to have it as a small motor skills activity with the pre schoolers, they loved to make things shiny!

My mom and I, during our spring cleaning, used this on some pieces I had. It worked perfectly!
